Condolences
Sadly, we just learned recently of Walt’s passing earlier this year. We knew Walt from the days of Modern Accordion and saw him many times when he played at Von Maur. He played piano for dinner guests at our daughter’s wedding. Our condolences to his wife and family. Don & Bernadette D’Alessandro
